Business Continuity Management Governance Framework
What is the purpose of corporate BCM governance
Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery plans should be reviewed, updated and tested on an on-going basis with the objective of continuous improvements in the program to meet evolving business requirements.
The components of the BCM are interdependent. Changes made to one component will affect the others. These interdependent components must be revisited as changes occur. A solid BCM program requires a strong corporate governance model.
Benefits of corporate BCM governance
An effective corporate BCM governance will ensure that your different BCM plans will work as planned when you need them the most, and will:
-
Ensure that at all levels of the organization, both employees and management are doing the right things and working to reach the same common goal.
-
Make sure that an organization’s governance is aligned with the BCM program. This is one of the key considerations during the development, implementation and maintenance of a BCM program.
-
Ensure that the integration of BCM starts at the top of the governance structure and, works its way into all of the other levels in various capacities.
